Chiefs Perform in Pro Bowl

In today's Pro Bowl, Kansas City was well represented. How were they well represented? By accounting for three AFC touchdowns, that's how.

It started with Jamaal Charles (naturally). On the AFC's first scoring drive, Matt Cassel handed off the ball and Charles did the rest. It was a six play, 67 yard, touchdown ending drive that had Charles getting the ball five of those six plays. Cassel threw to Bowe for a first down on the one other play. Charles would end the day with an AFC high 72 yards rushing on 10 attempts (7.2 yard average) and one touchdown.


Cassel was shaky at times, completing just 5 of 12 passes and having 2 interceptions. But he also had two touchdown passes, one by the grace of an untackling defense. He would finish with 95 yards passing and a 69.8 qb rating.

Dwayne Bowe would finish with 4 receptions for 54 yards.

Brian Waters had a Pro Bowl offensive lineman day (which means he, along with all the other offensive and defensive linemen, didn't do a whole lot), and Berry looked about as motivated as the rest of the AFC defense, getting beat by former Chief Tony Gonzalez on a route in the end zone and getting ran over by St. Louis running back Steven Jackson on his way to the end zone.

All-in-all, the game might have been a blow out, but the Chiefs players played admirably. For all the highlights of the game, go here.

  1. What were Cassel's numbers with that last play subtracted? Yeah that's what I thought...
